The Gold Standard: Why We Specialize in Awlgrip
Awlgrip is more than just paint; it is a complex, high-performance chemical system engineered specifically for the marine environment. Unlike standard gelcoat, an Awlgrip finish provides superior color retention, chemical resistance, and an incredible gloss that lasts for years with proper maintenance. Our technicians are highly trained in the precise mixing ratios and environmental controls required for a flawless application. This expertise ensures that your boat looks better than the day it left the showroom while providing a durable barrier against the elements.
Our Meticulous Marine Painting Process
A world-class paint job is ninety percent preparation, and at Bayside Boatworks, we follow a rigorous multi-step protocol to ensure maximum adhesion and a glass-smooth surface. The process begins with comprehensive substrate preparation, including detailed surface cleaning and dewaxing to remove all contaminants. We then perform precision surface repairs, filling and fairing any nicks or dock rash with professional-grade marine epoxies.
Once the surface is stabilized, we utilize a graduated sanding process to create the perfect profile for primer bonding. This is followed by the application of specialized Awlgrip primers to seal the substrate and provide a uniform base. Finally, we apply the topcoat—whether Awlgrip or Awlcraft 2000—in a controlled environment to achieve that signature deep-gloss finish that characterizes the world's finest yachts.
